Several religions are based off of the Jewish principle of monotheism, or the belief that there is only one God instead of many (like the Greeks and Romans believed.) Christianity, however, developed directly from Judaism. It started as a small Jewish sect who believed that a man named Jesus (or Yeshua in Hebrew) was the Messiah, or the one who would come to bring about a perfect world. Most Jews believed (and still believe) that this is not the case, and that the Messiah has yet to come. Christianity became it's own separate religion later, at the Council of Nicae, when they worked very hard to make it separate from Judaism. For example, they made sure that their Spring holiday (Easter) would never be on the same day as the Jewish Spring holiday (Pesach, or Passover.)
